Description
A colorless, acrid smelling liquid primarily used as a monomer for the production as acrylic polymers. Ethyl acrylate self-polymerizes at room temperature and occurs more rapidly with the aid of elevated temperatures, light, or peroxides. Polyethyl acrylate is a transparent, slightly elastic resin that is resistant to most solvents. Ethyl acrylate monomer is used in water Emulsion paints and for coatings on textiles, Paper, and Leather.
